Question 1 of 15
Where is the story "Ghost Knight" set?
LondonA far too bustling place for old knights
EdinburghRumour has it that there are many haunted places in Edinburgh, however it is not the setting of Ghost Knight
SalisburyExactly
Nope, though it is a haunted place, too
Question 2 of 15
Who guards Jon from the malicious knights?
Edward PopplewellHe indeed is a good house warden, but by no means a brave knight.
William LongespeeYes, the brave AND sad knight William Longespee.
William HartgillNo, he has no energy left for battling.
Lord StourtonGood heavens, no! He is the one who is after Jon...
Question 3 of 15
Who did Cornelia think of, when she created her story character Ella Littlejohn?
Of Ella Wigram, the daughter of a friendThat's the right answer. Ella read several versions of the story, and of course Cornelia asked Ella's permission to be part of the story
Of Hermine GrangerNo, though she is also an endlessly brave girl.
Of "the Wild Chick" CharlieCornelia would not base a character on one of her other book characters. They should all be distinctive
Of herself when she was a little girlCornelia was an adventurous girl, yes, but that's still not the right answer.
Question 4 of 15
What does Alma Popplewell smell like?
Cigarette smokeWhy, no! The boarding school is a non-smoking area.
Lavender soapRight. So much that it nauseates Jon.
Washing powderMaybe she does the pupils' laundry, but one can't smell it.
Potato soupVery tasty. But I'm afraid it is not the right answer.
Question 5 of 15
Who are Jon’s boarding school roommates?
Stu and AngusTrue. Stuart Crenshaw and Angus Mulroney
Bonnie and ClydeTe-hee! You mix up centuries...
Ron and HarryJon certainly would like to have them as roommates, but Ron and Harry are part of another story.
Prosper and BoThose two enjoy the freedom in the back alleys of Venice
Question 6 of 15
Who is "the giant" in Salisbury Cathedral?
Sir John CheneyYes! A 21" thighbone, found in his tomb at Salisbury Cathedral in the 18th century, puts his estimated height at 6 feet 8 inches.
William HartgillHis bones are rather to be found at Kilmington.
William LongspeeThere is a taller knight to be found at the Cathedral.
RübezahlDefinitely not
Question 7 of 15
Wellington is...
... Zelda’s favorite toadIf one of Zelda's toads bears that name, we will never know.
... one of Stourton’s ghostly servantsNone of them is called Wellington.
... the name of Zelda’s favourite liqueurIt is not even known if Zelda has a soft spot for liqueur.
... the little dog of Zelda’s friend AlyceYes, that's his name. And Cornelia's close friend Elinor Bagenal has a dog named Wellington, too.
Question 8 of 15
Where was William Longspee’s heart buried?
At StonehengeWell, Ella, Jon, and Zelda went there in search for the buried heart, but they did not find it.
Well, in his tomb, where else?The answer is NOT that easy
Many hearts are buried here, but Longespee's is not.
On the Choristers’ IslandAbsolutely right. The island which is not an island, but only a little hill on the grounds of Jon's boarding school.
Question 9 of 15
What does the seal show, that Longspee gave to Jon?
A lionYes, correct answer. The lion is the heraldic animal, which is also displayed on Longespee's shield.
Longspee's initialsThat would make sense, but it is not the right answer.
A toadNo way! There are way too many in and around Zelda's house.
A unicornNo. But "four legs" points you in the right direction.
Question 10 of 15
What hangs in the staircase of Jon’s boarding school?
A portrait of Richard the LionheartWould be an eye-catcher, granted, but the bishops do not leave room for the old king.
A fire extinguisherSure, fire extinguishers must be accessible at all times, but it is not mentioned in the book
Fortunately it’s 30 years since the use of corporal punishment was outlawed in British state schooling.
The portraits of several bishopsRight answer. They hang there because the school building originally was the Bishop's residence.
Question 11 of 15
Why is Jon haunted by Lord Stourton and his "ghostly helpers"?
He danced on their gravesNot possible, for in the beginning Jon does not even know who Lord Stourton and his servants are.
He spat on a picture of StourtonEven though Stourton had deserved it, Jon's decency prevents him from doing so.
He saved Ella from the ghost knightsIf at all, Ella would help saving Jon.
By reason of his descentExactly. Jon's mother' maiden name is Hartgill, and vicious Lord Stourton had sworn to chase all Hartgills down.
Question 12 of 15
What does Jon call his mother’s boyfriend?
The BardIt is not mentioned in the book, that the dentist is a passionate singer.
The BoreWell, from Jon's perspective he definitely is, but it is not what he calls him.
The MoustacheClose
Yes, that's how he calls the unshaved dentist.
Question 13 of 15
What should you not bring up in the presence of Jon’s roommate Angus?
His baby-blue autograph bookMaybe he hides one under his pillow, but the story does not mention it.
His mother’s sticking-out earsPossible, but the book does not give away, if his mother has bat ears.
His morning body odourOk, sleeping under a mountain of fluffy toys might influence morning odour, but Angus is not a skunk at all.
His dog print pajamas and fluffy toysRight. You better do not, if you don't want to "feel a Scottish hug"
Question 14 of 15
How does Zelda Littlejohn, Ella’s grandmother, look like?
Like an owlYes, that's what Jon thought when he met Zelda for the first time, because Zelda has a small head, frizzy grey hair, and oversized glasses sitting askew on her nose.
Like an old batWell, no. Though she is sometimes a bit quirky (batty), she has nothing in common with those "flittermice".
CrestfallenClose. But that's not what Jon thought.
Like a ghostWhy, no! Zelda is alive and kicking.
Question 15 of 15
What is Jon's history teacher Mr. Rifkin so passionate about?
The fashion for periwigs of the English nobilityNo. That powdered head covering is not Mr. Rifkin's cup of tea.
Napoleon BonaparteRifkin's nickname is Bonaparte, but not because of his admiration for the military leader, but his general interest in military stuff plus his vain attempts to comb his sparse hair over his bald skull
The chanting of the choristersRifkin would rather prefer sabre-rattling over choral music.
Long-ago wars and historic battlesThat's right Battle line-ups, military strategies, and huge armies excite Mr Rifkin so much that he sometimes breaks the chalk while sketching on the blackboard the deployment of troops in some famous military encounter or other.
